OPPOSITION TO KEW STREET
There was Joint meeting of the Council com
mittee on streets and alleys, and property hold
ers, at the clerks Office last night, to consider
the project of widening the alley between Merid-
ian and Illinois streets, running south from
Georgia to the Union tracks. Nearly all the
large property holders in that vicinity pres
ent, and unanimously opposed the project, on
the ground that it would drive their trade away
for the reason that the people coming into the
city by the railroads would universally be turned
up Illinois street by the widened alley. The
committee took no action, but from the strength
of the opposition will probably make an adverse
report at the next meeting of the Council.
PATENT FOR PENSIONERS.
Capt. James A. Tiff has invented and just re-
ceved his patent on pension certificate case;
that u.s. pocket book adapted to the special pur-
pose of holding pension certificate as safe
guard against loss or mutilation The Captain
discovered from the records that 1900 appiica-
tons for duplicates to replace lost certificates
were filed in 1885, When a pension certificate is
| lost it takes from six months to year to get a
| duplicate. In the meantime no pay car be
| drawn until the duplicate is procured. Captain
| lifts device is very simple one. The name of
| the pensioner and his regiment are on the inside
| of the case, while on the outside is his name and
| postoffice address, together with pocket con-
| tanning postage stamps for the return of the
case, should 1t be lost, to the owner All that
is necessary for the finder to do is to put on the
stamps and drop the certificate case in the post
| Office.

PLACE YOUR HAND IN MINE.

TITS fve-and-twenty years to-day
Since we were man and wife
And that's tidy slice, say, y
From anybody's life.
And if we want, in looking back,
To feel how time has flown,
There's Jack, you see, our baby JACK,
With whiskers of his own.
Place your hand in mine, wife
We've loved each other true;
And still, in shade or shine. wife,
There's love to help US through.
It's not been all smooth sailing, wife
Not always laughing May.
Sometimes it's been weary strife
To keep the wolf away.
We've had our little tiffs, my dear;
We've often grieved and sighedI
One lad has cost us many tear
Our little baby died.
Place your hand IN mine, wife
We've loved each other true;
And still, in shade or shine, wife,
There's love to help us through
But. wife, your love along the road
Has cheered the toughest spell,
You've borne your half of every load,
And often mine as well.
I've rued full many foolish thing
Ere well the step was ta,en;
But, oh I'd haste to buy the ring
And wed you DER again.
Place your hand in mine, wife,
We've loved each other true;
And still, in shade or shine, VIE,
There's love to help US through.
'Twas you who made me own the land
That's working all along,
In ways we cannot understand,
Still bringing right from wrong.
You've kept me brave and kept me true,
You've made me trust and pray;
NY gentle evening star were you,
That blessed the close of day.
Place your hand in mine, wife.
We've loved each other true;
And still, in shade or shine, wife,
There's love to help us through.
